Recipe Crafting Improvement

Wouldn't be useful to have an option when you go to a crafting table that tells you what could you craft with the salvage in your Inventory? It's easy to see what recipes are you carrying, what it's hard to know what could you do with the salvage you have, even if you need to bid for the recipe after making the consult.

Umm... You mean like the current option to only show recipes you own and only show recipes with enough salvage?

Well, just the opposite of that. Not only showing recipes I own and/or recipes with enough salvage but also showing recipes I don't own but I have enough salvage to craft if I had the recipe. Like having Nevermelting Ice, Mathematic Proof, Temporal Tracer and Pangean Soil in your inventary (among other salvage) and see at crafting table that you *could* craft Aegis: Resistance if you had the recipe.

*sigh*

There are two options which can be used independantly.
Hide:
* Recipes I don't own.
* Recipes I don't have all the components for.

if you activate the second one, but not the first, a crafting terminal will tell you every standard recipe available which you could make, if you had the recipe. You may then buy the recipe from the terminal, or go check the CH/BM.

The only thing it will not tell you is the Set IOs you could make with those components. I assume that is by design.

Sorry, I forgot to say that it would be interesting specially for Set IOs.

I suspect that it's the way it is by design, and then there are various web sites that can probably supply the information. If I get enthused sometime, I might build a spreadsheet.

Actually, I wouldn't mind some software to collate all my alt's salvage. Maybe I'll get creative.

TO be honest i think that would be a kinda pointless feature.

I mean, how many goes and think, oooh i have the salvage to make a "Insert expensive recepie IO here" and then goes and buys the recepie for lots and makes it?

If i have a recepie i wanna make, i look for the salvage.
If i have the salvage, i don't look for a recepie i could make.

At some point it is related with what you say. I know what recipies I need, and the salvage needed for them; and I have tons and tons of yellow or orange salvage that I could put in WW to get rid of them. Or I could do some investment for a recipe and craft Set IO that would give me more inf than just selling the salvage - recipe cost.

They could be highlightened in WW, too, like they are in our inventory when we have salvage needed.

The spreadsheet already exists at vidiotmaps.com, you can write your salvage there and you create a list with the possibilities; I used it at first, but abandoned it after seeing that my salvage inventory changes too fast.

What would be more useful TBH is some form of inventory export function (or a command to list stored salvage/recipes in chat) so that you can rapidly input what you have into other software.

I made a spreadsheet that lists all my salvage, but I now only record rare, as to update everything across multiple alts and two accounts was taking hours. If i could list exectly what I have in both the salvage store and on my character with simple command I'd be in a much better position IMO.

/signed, int triplicate with a faked presidential stamp.

A couple of other export functions would be nice, build and slotting export anyone?
